Quote

There's this expression called postmodernism, which is kind of silly, and destroys a perfectly good word called modern, which now no longer means anything.

I've purposely stayed away from reading much about postmodern theory, and most everything I have read just bored me to tears. I don't think anybody's written about it, or very few have, with any verve.

I confess I take perverse delight as a theologian in the controversies surrounding postmodernism.

Postmodernism is an academic theory, originating in academia with an academic elite, not in the world of women and men, where feminist theory is rooted.

Postmodernism surely requires an even greater grasp of symbolism, as it's increasingly an art of gesture alone.

I think the avant-garde often hides itself in the highly incomprehensible because they are frustrated that the real world is so boring.

In the end, postmodern art is obscene not because it is offensive, but because it is boring.

Postmodernism cost literature its audience.

I understand that postmodern literature probably means people like DeLillo, The Fiction Collective, but I don't get it that those writers are really influenced by postmodern theorists.
